ELECTRONIC REAL-LIFE SIMULATION TREATMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An electronic system comprising:
- a spatial image acquisition unit that acquires a first real spatial image that is visually perceived in a predetermined first real space;
a display unit that virtually displays the first real spatial image acquired by the spatial image acquisition unit, in a second real space that is distant from the first real space;
a spatial information acquisition unit that acquires first real spatial information that is different from the first real spatial image and perceived by any of five senses other than vision, in the first real space; and
a reproduction unit that reproduces the first real spatial information acquired by the spatial information acquisition unit, in the second real space.

Abstract
A medical treatment system is provided that enables a user to have an experience as if the user were in a real location that is distant from a location where the user is physically present. The electronic system comprises a spatial image acquisition unit that acquires image data from a first real space, a display unit that displays the image data in a second real space that is distant from the first real space. The electronic system comprises an audio acquisition unit, a smell acquisition unit, and an ambient air acquisition unit that acquire other sensory information different from the image data and other than visual data. An audio output unit, a smell generation unit, and an ambient air generation unit in the second real space reproduces the other sensory information acquired and, using the data and information, provides a real-life simulated output in the second real space.

8. An electronic real-life simulation treatment system, comprising:
-
a camera disposed in a first real space, wherein the camera acquires video data about an environment of the first real space; a spatial information acquisition unit disposed in the first real space, the spatial information acquisition unit comprising; a microphone that detects sounds in the environment of the first real space; an electronic odor sensor that detects scents in the environment of the first real space; and an ambient air acquisition unit that measures ambient air conditions in the environment of the first real space comprising at least one of a temperature, a wind velocity, and a humidity; and a communication unit that sends, across a communication network, the video data and information about the detected sounds, the detected scents, and the ambient air conditions in the environment of the first real space to a receiving communication unit in a second real space that is different and remotely located from the first real space, wherein, in response to receiving the video data and information a display unit disposed in the second real space is caused to output the video data and a reproduction unit disposed in the second real space is caused to reproduce the detected sounds, the detected scents, and the ambient air conditions in an environment of the second real space. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
acquiring, via a camera disposed in a first real space, a first real spatial image of an area of the first real space, wherein the first real spatial image comprises video data; transmitting, across a communication network via a communication unit, the first real spatial image to a receiving communication unit in a second real space, wherein the second real space is different and remotely located from the first real space; displaying, via an image projector disposed in the second real space, the first real spatial image to a surface in the second real space as the first real spatial image is received from the communication unit; acquiring, via a spatial information acquisition unit disposed in the first real space, first real spatial information comprising sound data and at least one of odor data, temperature data, and wind speed data measured in the first real space; transmitting, across the communication network via the communication unit, the first real spatial information to the receiving communication unit in the second real space; and outputting, in response to receiving the first real spatial information, the sound data via a speaker disposed in the second real space and at least one of a reproduced odor in the second real space based on the odor data, a reproduced temperature in the second real space based on the temperature data, and a reproduced air output in the second real space based on the wind speed data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
